32位嵌入式CISC微处理器设计

LongtiumC2微处理器是西北工业大学自主产权设计的嵌入式32位CISC微处理器,与Intel 486DX2完全兼容,工作频率133MHz,规模约100万门,功耗小于1W.在微体系结构方面,提出硬连线和微程序相结合的控制通路设计方案,增强了处理器的灵活性和扩展能力.在流水线方面,为了实现精确中断,提出了基于微操作的指令指针跟踪方案,不但可以精确地保存中断现场,而且省去了等待指令边界的时间,实现了中断的快速响应.为了实现Longti-umC2的低功耗特性,提出了译码控制核心的低功耗设计方案,使译码器和微内核的功耗分别下降26%和19%.最后,为了快速、完备、有效地对LongtiumC2进行功能验证,提出了一种微处理器的系统级验证策略,使用虚拟系统和FPGA来同时搭建系统级验证平台,并采用Vera进行基于功能点的覆盖率验证,提高了验证工作的效率和置信度.

Design of a 32-bit Embedded CISC Microprocessor

LongtiumC2 is an embedded 32 bit Complex Instruction Set Computer microprocessor designed by Northwestern Polytechnical University,which is compatible with Intel 486DX2 in instruction level,designed to run in 133MHz,and includes about one million gates.Its power consumption is less than one watt.In micro-architecture level,this paper proposed a control logic design scheme,which combined PLA and micro-operation together to improve the flexibility and expansibility of LongtiumC2.In pipeline design,to realize ...
